Learning Disability
What are the symptoms?
Generally someone is considered to have a learning disability when they function at a level of intellectual ability which is significantly lower than their chronological age. This is usually considered to be equivalent to having an IQ of seventy or less and occurs in approximately two to three per cent of the population. Increased difficulties in acquiring basic independence, self-care and life skills, and increased dependence on others are common. Specialist educational input is usually required. This is increasingly possible within mainstream school settings, though sometimes specialist school placement still proves to be most beneficial.
